Chair Control Screen Actions
Any site in the multi-point call can perform these actions:
• Acquire chair—Enables Chair Control for your site. Other sites
in the call cannot acquire the chair until you release it. If your site
has the chair, a small gavel appears in chair control mode. If you
attempt to acquire the chair while another site has it, a message
appears telling you that another site has the chair.
• View Site—Displays the selected site in the live window. View
Site overrides voice activated switching and any broadcaster
actions from the chair. It does not affect video at other sites.
• Stop Viewing Site—Causes your ViewStation FX or VS4000 to
go back to voice-activated switching or broadcaster actions as
set by the chair.
• Make me the Broadcaster—Sends a request to the chair
control site to force all sites to view your site.
